BHP Billiton states on its website that the mine "is currently in the process of closing, and its remaining reserves will be merged with the neighbouring Middelburg Mine Services during the current financial year, as part of the Douglas-Middelburg Optimisation (DMO) Project. Douglas supplies its products into the export, domestic and local power station markets."[1]
